The Bloodline has undergone a complete revamp in dynamics since Roman Reigns‘ last appearance in WWE more than two months ago. Reigns losing the WWE Undisputed Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL acted as the catalyst for these changes. The new leader of the faction, Solo Sikoa has taken it upon himself to leave no trace of the original Bloodline. And has brought in new faces who represent the faction from his ideology: carnage.
Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa were the first to arrive, engaging in a war against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. And then came Jacob Fatu, the new enforcer of the Bloodline, who single-handedly took on Rhodes, Orton, and Owens. This marked a new lineup for the faction that rules the WWE. But Sikoa felt another change had to be made on last week’s edition of SmackDown. He asked Paul Heyman to declare his loyalty toward the Tribal Heir by acknowledging him in front of the MSG crowd.
It was a task that Heyman refused to obey. And one he had to dearly pay for as he was triple-power bombed on the commentator’s table by Fatu, Loa, and Tonga. With destruction following the new group wherever they go, when will it stop? Well, chances are that Roman Reigns will be coming back on SummerSlam to take back his throne. But seeing the Bloodline 2.0 lineup, he will need major help. And here’s why the former version of the team will reunite to take on the new one.

Jimmy Uso has yet to exact his vengeance
Jimmy Uso stayed loyal to the group throughout their first run, unlike his brother Jey Uso. He was one of the principal men for the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns before Solo Sikoa took his spot as the right-hand man for the then Universal Champion. Once Reigns took his break from the promotion, Sikoa took the lead and wanted stronger men in the group.
What’s your perspective on:
"Will Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns' return spark the most epic Bloodline feud in WWE history?"
Have an interesting take?
Much stronger and more ruthless than Jimmy Uso. So, Tama Tonga made his debut by ruthlessly attacking Jimmy Uso and ousting him from the group. And since then, Uso has yet to be seen in the promotion. But for the betrayal and the shame that came despite being ever loyal to the faction, Jimmy Uso could join hands with his original Tribal Chief when Reigns returns.
To help him reclaim the throne he lost while earning his revenge in the process. The reunion would also help him end his rivalry with his brother, Jey Uso, with whom he created one of the best tag teams in WWE history.
The return of Jey Uso
Ever since Jey Uso left the Bloodline, he has been one of the top WWE superstars in the promotion. So much so that he has been in the top 3 merch sellers for months. However, despite his fame, he has yet to win a championship to seal his spot as one of the best. Something he could not achieve but has come close to several times. The most recent was being a contender in the King of the Ring tournament, where he defeated Ilja Dragunov before being eliminated by Gunther.
So now, to establish himself as someone who needs to be taken seriously, he could join hands with Roman Reigns to defeat Bloodline 2.0. And if a member of the new Bloodline, such as Jacob Fatu, wins a title such as the Intercontinental Championship by then, the chances are that Jey Uso might get his much-awaited singles titles at SummerSlam.
Paul Heyman
If you think that it was the last of the Wiseman that we saw in the latest edition of SmackDown, then you are wrong, dear reader. Heyman is a legendary manager who creates a real aura of dominance when he represents a wrestler. Whether it be Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, or Roman Reigns. The man has the Midas touch to create superstars.

And since The Tribal Chief prefers talking less and fighting more, he will need Heyman by his side to announce his magnanimous return. One that is sure to shatter the roofs with the crowd pop that’ll follow. And this time, it would be the wise man’s brains teaming up with Reigns’ brawn to take on the group that sent him to the hospital.
But for this all to come to fruition, we’ll have to wait for SummerSlam. The WWE’s major PPV will take place on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. So are you excited to see the return of the Tribal Chief? Let us know in the comments.
